Clara Reeve's The Old English Baron 

About this book

In this enthralling gothic novel, Clara Reeve takes the foundation laid by Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto and crafts a unique narrative set against the backdrop of medieval England.

This volume is part of the Mothers of the Macabre series, celebrating the gothic horror masterpieces of pioneering women writers who played a pivotal role in shaping and advancing the genre. Breathing new life into the gothic horror genre, The Old English Baron serves as a compelling rewrite of the influential classic, The Castle of Otranto (1764). First published in 1777, Clara Reeve's masterful storytelling pays homage to Walpole's, while infusing the narrative with realism and her own distinct vision. Through atmospheric settings, complex characters, and intricate plotlines, this volume stands as a testament to the enduring allure of gothic literature.
